The ACT government is being called on to help replace a private home in the Canberra suburbs that has been a short-term - but critical - lifeline to women and children in need, particularly migrants and refugees fleeing domestic violence who have no other means of support.
Kim Ransa's Safe House was run by the Doris Women's Refuge in a private home in north Canberra, with the owner, as a charitable gesture, charging nominal rent and private donors meeting additional expenses such as electricity bills and food.
